You're Kidding, Right?

     If you're still keeping that new year's resolution to lose weight, no doubt you're watching your meal portion sizes and getting to the gym regularly, but here are a few wackadoodle tips that might help . . . believe it or not.

1.   Sniffing peppermint (preferably not in the form of a York Peppermint Patty) might help curb your appetite.

2.    Eating off a red plate might help you eat less.  

3.    Indulging in chocolate is associated with lower levels of abdominal fat.   

4.   Sleeping in a cooler bedroom may increase your calorie burning potential during the night.  

5.   Keeping pictures of low calorie foods on your refrigerator (and actually looking at them occasionally) may help satisfy cravings for higher calorie foods.

6.   Organizing your desk might reduce your food intake throughout the day.

7.   Paying with cash rather than credit cards may help you choose healthier food options.  

     So there you have it -- seven absolutely ridiculous weight loss tips.  Anybody care to test them?  Look at it this way, even if you don't get smaller, your heating bill will, your grocery bill might, and you'll be eating plenty of chocolate.  It's all good!
